Council Bluffs Schools Alumni Association
The Alumni Association serves as a resource to connect alumni, share reunion information and present opportunities for individuals to support initiatives of their schools. The Alumni Association will serve graduates of Abraham Lincoln, Kanesville and Thomas Jefferson High Schools as they look to stay connected to old friends.
Your support of this project will fund the alumni newsletter, website and other activities.
Classroom Grants for Teachers
These grants offer teachers the opportunity to implement creative and innovative projects that enhance the classroom curriculum, especially in the areas of math and literacy. Your gift to the classroom grant program will be designated for use by teachers and other school personnel. Classroom grant are awarded in the amount of $250 or $500.
Gear Up Students!
At a time when unemployment is rising and many families are in economic crisis, this program can make a positive difference in the life of a child by providing school supplies, warm clothing, clothing that fits, medication, and help meet other school requirements. The principals of the individual schools, who know their children and their needs, make the request for funds from the Community Education Foundation.
Children who come to school cold because of inadequate warm clothing cannot concentrate on their studies. Children who do not have adequate supplies are unable to participate fully in the learning experiences. These funds impact individual students in need by providing the resources they need to be successful in their learning experience.
Memorials & Scholarships
One way to honor teachers and friends is through the support of scholarships. Teachers you may remember and wish to honor through their memorial scholarships include: Donald C. Scheibeler, Jim Amundsen, and Richard Schoeppner. In addition, there is a scholarship for A.L. seniors who are members of the National Honor Society that is sponsored by the Hall of Fame members.
